SHANGHAI, Mar 1 (SMM)- On March 1, traders began to offer spot quotes against SHFE 2304 nickel. Spot premiums of Jinchuan nickel were 8,000-8,500 yuan/mt. The average premium was 8,250 yuan/mt, up 2,850 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Premiums of NORNICKEL nickel stood at 5,200-5,500 yuan/mt. The average premium was 5,350 yuan/mt, an increase of 2,350 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. SHFE nickel prices hit a new low in 2023, and the spot prices also dropped. However, according to SMM research, the profit margins of downstream enterprises did not grow following the decline in raw material prices. At present, the downstream demand for pure nickel is poor, dragging down the intraday spot transactions. The prices of nickel briquettes were 195,900-197,000 yuan/mt, down 6,100 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Nickel briquette trading was poor as the prices were still higher than the nickel sulphate prices.
